CHASING SHADOWS © Earl.C.Webb

SETTLING DOWN NEVER MEANT THAT MUCH TO ME
COULDN’T STAY IN ONE PLACE FOR TOO LONG
ALWAYS FELT THERE’S SOMEWHERE ELSE I HAD TO BE
GROWING ROOTS JUST SEEM PLAIN WRONG

BUT I DON’T WANT IT LIKE THAT, I DON’T WANT IT THAT WAY
ALWAYS GOING SOMEPLACE WHEN I JUST WANT TO STAY
THERE’S A FEAR IN ME THAT KEEPS ME MOVING ON
I’VE BEEN CHASING SHADOWS FOR MOST OF MY LIFE, MOVING FROM TOWN TO TOWN
I GUESS, S’BOUT TIME I SETTLED DOWN

SINCE I WAS YOUNG, THERE’S BEEN NO PLACE THAT I CALLED HOME
NO FAMILLIAR FACE I COULD DEPEND
NO CLOSE COMPANION, I ALWAYS TRAVELLED BEST ALONE
THE OPEN ROAD WAS MY BEST FRIEND

BUT I DON’T WANT IT LIKE THAT, I DON’T WANT IT THAT WAY
ALWAYS GOING SOMEPLACE WHEN I JUST WANT TO STAY
THERE’S A FEAR IN ME THAT KEEPS ME MOVING ON
I’VE BEEN CHASING SHADOWS FOR MOST OF MY LIFE, MOVING FROM TOWN TO TOWN
I GUESS, S’BOUT TIME I SETTLED DOWN
OOH..............................................................

MY TRAVELLING WAYS, I CAN’T LIVE THEM ANYMORE
I KNOW THERE’S NOTHING ELSE BEYOND THAT BEND
THAT PICKET FENCE AND LIFE BEHIND OUR OWN FRONT DOOR
WILL MEAN YOU’VE BROUGHT MY LONG ROAD TO AN END

‘CAUSE I DON’T WANT IT LIKE THAT, I DON’T WANT IT THAT WAY
ALWAYS GOING SOMEPLACE WHEN I JUST WANT TO STAY
THERE’S A FEAR IN ME THAT KEPT ME MOVING ON
I’VE BEEN CHASING SHADOWS FOR MOST OF MY LIFE, MOVING FROM TOWN TO TOWN
I GUESS, S’BOUT TIME I SETTLED DOWN
OOH..............................................................X 2

BUT I DON’T WANT IT LIKE THAT, I DON’T WANT IT THAT WAY
ALWAYS GOING SOMEPLACE WHEN I JUST WANT TO STAY
THERE’S A FEAR IN ME THAT KEEPS ME MOVING ON
I’VE BEEN CHASING SHADOWS FOR MOST OF MY LIFE, MOVING FROM TOWN TO TOWN
I GUESS, S’BOUT TIME WE SETTLED DOWN.
